Welcome to the Forum dugdoo56.
This is from YY – Genesis – Eden book and the thought is similar to “The Science of God” by Gerald Schroeder.
“…and relationally (‘asher) He placed (sym – established) the man (‘Adam) He formed (yasar – planned, fashioned, and created) there (sam – in that position and place).” (Genesis 2:8) The entire universe, like the joyous shelter, was established for man. From God’s perspective, we exist in the center of the universe.
There is something else worth pondering here. By using sym/placed, God is inferring that mankind was created outside of the garden, and that this man, Adam, was placed there after receiving the nesamah.
“Yahuweh, God, formed (forged and fashioned, planned and prepared) ‘Adam/man from the powdery dust (fine dirt or very small natural material particles) of the ground (‘adamah – soil or earth) and blew (napah – breathed) into his nostrils the life-giving, restoring and sustaining (hayim) conscience (nesamah – seat of judgment, of recognizing the difference between right and wrong, discernment and discrimination), and ‘Adam came to exist as (hayah) a living (hay / chay) soul (nepesh).” (Genesis 2:7)
The living creature known as man was the last animal God created on the sixth day. He fashioned the male and female human form, as with all other forms of life, from natural elements of the earth by manipulating their DNA code. But something was different about the species Homo sapiens. God designed a unique animal with a special capacity to think, to communicate, to be creative and productive, to walk upright, and to conceive and raise children in a loving and nurturing family, teaching and protecting them in a manner which would embrace the covenant He envisioned.
In this regard, of the millions of animal forms on earth, man is unlike any other — a species made in the likeness of God. Simply stated, if you can envision a man and woman who are husband and wife, standing before the shelter of their home with a child between them, you understand Yahweh and His purpose. After watching this new creature for a while, God took one specific human, He named him Adam, and gave He him a nesamah/conscience so that He could begin a relationship with this solitary, judgmental and discerning man. Yahweh designed and built a perfect paradise for him, and He placed Adam inside. This is the reason that the creation account of men and women and of Adam and Chawah is told twice, once generally of all humankind and once specifically of two very unique individuals.
This would make the humans inside and outside of Yah’s protection divergent only in that Adam and Chawah had both a nesamah/conscience and a personal relationship with God. This relationship, in my judgment, was perfect for two Yowbel, or 100 years, and then, using their nesamah, or seat of judgment, poorly Adam and Chawah were banished from the garden and exposed to the rest of the world—even to the rest of humanity.
These things considered, it matters not if my speculation is right or wrong. My purpose was to provide you with a scenario which was both plausible and completely consistent with Scripture and science. Humankind is a special animal and Adam and Chawah were an especially unique couple. Their ancestry is common, but not their conscience.
